The 20-year-old rated highest out of all of Celtic’s players in The Scotsman’s Champions League ratings table with an average score of 6.5, such was the consistency of his performances against quality opposition.

He played every minute of Celtic’s Champions League campaign, including the six qualification matches. He performed excellently against Arjen Robben when Brendan Rodgers’ men faced Bayern Munich.

UEFA said about Tierney: “At 20, Tierney has already played over 100 matches for Celtic and captained Scotland. Rated the best British-born left-back of his generation, the youngster’s assist for Leigh Griffiths’ goal in the 3-0 win at Anderlecht was Tierney at his swashbuckling best.”
